10 Star Wars Movie "Mistakes" That Were Totally Intentional
8. Greedo "Lives" - Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
Everybody knows that bounty hunter Greedo (Paul Blake) is killed by Han Solo (Harrison Ford) early on in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, but over the years many fans have pointed out a supposed continuity error that implies that Greedo miraculously survived.
Roughly two minutes after his death, a character looking almost exactly like Greedo can be seen wandering around Mos Eisley, prompting conspiracy theories that his race, Rodians, possess a secret regenerative capability.
But the answer is so much simpler than that - this is just another Rodian walking around Mos Eisley.
Sure, it's a tad suspect that he's wearing the exact same outfit as Greedo, but remember that when we first meet Jabba the Hutt, he's surrounded by three Rodians who are also wearing the same get-up.
If you're somehow still not convinced that this was completely on purpose, Star Wars lorekeeper Pablo Hidalgo straight-up confirmed it himself:
"Those other Rodians aren't Greedo, but clearly Rodians aren't that creative or individualistic when it comes to wardrobe. Costume production notes indicate that there were three Rodians in the cantina all dressed the same. Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina establishes that one of them was named Thuku. Also, watch the Jabba scene at Han's ship carefully. There are at least three Rodians dressed identically. Furthermore, in Return of the Jedi, we see another Rodian with the same duds, only this guy's named Beedo."
